You really think she's worse than Antonelli or Murphy? I've been holding on to the idea that it 'could' be worse. Would you rather have Lisa Leslie? I'm not sure. But I agree that they could have done a LOT better.

At least here she's not whining about every call against her Mercury.

Was she on again for US v Spain? I watched the NBC stream rather than on the television; the stream had some man (he wasn't good, but if someone is really bothered that much by AMD it's an alternative).

I was out and so watched the first half on my phone on the NBC app, then the last quarter at home on TV.

MUCH preferred the guy on the internet streaming. Just straightforward play by play. No babble, no banter, no gossip, no UConn hype, no "Reeve used to work for NBA bad boy Laimbeer and has a firey personality", no BS. Just the game.

If they're all like that, I'll be watching future games on line.

Only annoyance was that I never figured out what the technical was for. Anyone want to tell me?

I agree AM is bad. She spent too much time running her mouth about things that didn't include what was going on in the game. My son was watching with me and he said "why is she talking so much". It was a bit annoying!

You would think someone could tell her that this is television, and it is not necessary to fill every millisecond with commentary. Especially inane commentary.

I think there's something to this. Watching Turkey vs Belarus this morning, I greatly enjoyed having only one commentator for play-by-play. I'd like to think most of us are smart enough to understand what's going on without being fed pearls of wisdom like "Diana Taurasi is good" or having some random story from back in the day drawled over what's happening on the court.

Come to think of it, it's what makes the current Dallas Wings broadcast so awful. It takes that lady 3 or 4 possessions to finish a single thought process. Maybe it's why I think Stars, Fever, and Lynx (Horton) broadcasts are generally more listenable than others? Just call the game, aye?

aye. give us color only on the breaks/timouts/halftime/postgame - that would be awesome.

She is indeed nerve racking!!! Talks to much about everything except what is happening on the court. All that kind of talk should be done at another time, like during time outs etc. She never shuts up.
